The Finding You

Lynchburg Retreat

Lynchburg, VA

April 12-14, 2024

Are you feeling disoriented, lost to yourself, in any part of your life? Do you need some strategies for finding yourself in the midst of your responsibilities, disappointments, and needs?
 
We get it and we can help. In this weekend group process-oriented retreat, The Finding You Project founders Leeana Tankersley and Elaine Hamilton will host a small group of women to consider the theme: "Your Person Is You." The retreat includes an evening session and dinner on Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and a coffee debrief on Monday morning.  
 
Sessions are comprised of teaching from Elaine and Leeana, personal reflection, group processing and discussion, and lots of support. Leeana will be offering a break-out session for those who want to workshop writing projects. Elaine will be offering a break-out session for those who want to continue to explore the connection between their young self and their present experiences. We'll enjoy dinners together, coffee breaks, and plenty of yummy snacks. All in the beauty and comfort and safety of a private home.
 
Overnight lodging is not provided. Each attendee will need to secure her own accommodations.

Lodging & Things to Do

A detailed email will be sent to participants with information about lodging and local activities, but for now: Lynchburg is a small town in Central Virginia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, nestled along the James River. There is a developing historic downtown area with walkability to restaurants and coffee shops and shopping. There are also sprawling farms and orchards in more rural areas, gorgeous vistas on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and plenty of places to hike (check out Sharp Top). We can't wait to welcome you to this charming Southern city.
